The CW’s DYNASTY Adds Kelly Rutherford

Kelly Rutherford (Gossip Girl) is set to join The CW’s reboot of Dynasty.

Rutherford will play Melissa Daniels, whose seemingly perfect marriage to a powerful senator is revealed to be nothing more than a face-saving sham. In private, she’s actually a “spiraling lush” whose life story serves as a cautionary tale to Cristal about the dangers of marrying men in high places.

Rutherford is also known for appearing in Melrose Place alongside fellow cast member Grant Show.
